Ceasefire

A ceasefire is like when you and your little brother are fighting and your mom tells you both to stop and take a break. It means that you both need to stop fighting and take a little break from hurting each other.

In the same way, a ceasefire is a truce between two groups who have been fighting or at war with each other. It is an agreement that both sides will stop attacking each other for a certain amount of time, often to negotiate a peace agreement. It is meant to give everyone a break from the fighting and to give the chance for the two sides to talk and find a way to end the conflict peacefully.

When there's a ceasefire, it means no one can shoot, hurt or kill anyone from the other side. Instead, both sides might do things like exchange prisoners, send in humanitarian aid, or start negotiations to figure out how to resolve their differences peacefully. That’s why a ceasefire is often seen as a good thing, because it's a chance for peace.
